Shenzhou Lotus Heart
Yunfu and Xiamen, bathed in morning sun,
Zhangping lights up the fields where Putian runs.
In Fuzhou, I stand, understanding Fujian's grace,
Neon lights illuminate, no harm in trade's fair space.
Zhuhai and Maoming, Shenzhen stands tall and true,
Standing straight and proud, our spirits to imbue.
From Beijing far, Sichuan we rush to embrace,
Chongqing's honesty, frost on Suining's face.
*****'* robes flow, Lhasa calls, free and clear,
Zhejiang leads the way, our journey far and near.
Guangzhou's porridge warms, Wenzhou's lights slow,
Tianjin's "work on time" is how life should go.
Lilies bloom in Lijiang, Nanjing's north star gleams,
Yinchuan stretches far, beyond Yining's streams.
Old scrolls封存, Kaifeng's classics live on,
Chengdu breathes with culture, where our heritage throngs.
Harbin's snow falls, freezing the river, blood runs hot in Yanji,
Hangzhou's Su Causeway, a paradise, so pretty.
Ningbo holds the essence, Jinhua's beauty untold,
Xi'an's Baoji breathes, Yan'an's sacred grove.
Xianyang shines in peace, bringing warmth untold.
Shaoyang, Changde, Changning in Hunan's land,
Huaihua ushers in years, by our hearts so grand.
Xiantao, Jingzhou, Jingmen in Hubei's embrace,
Shishou guards our years, leaving no trace.
Taiyuan's Yangquan, Jinzhong's Yongji, so divine,
Changzhi embraces Datong, a destiny all mine.
Hefei's moonlight, Liuan's fields so green,
Tianchang and Mingguang, Bengbu where we have been.
Jinan's Qingdao, Qingzhou forever in our hearts,
Qixia lights up Rizhao, Yantai against the stars.
Nanning's Guilin, Laibin clouds drift by,
Baise fragrance drifts, Pingxiang meets the sky.
Urumqi's winds, Karamay's oil so bright,
Hami's grapes sweet, warming day and night.
Lanzhou's Jiuquan, Tianshui often in view,
Hezuo warms our hearts, old and true.
Hands joined in lotus, thousand petals tightly bind,
Chinese hearts as one, across the land we find.
Rich or poor, sick or whole, we stand as one.
One lotus heart lights up ten thousand suns.
Lotus hearts build together, thousands of stamens bloom,
Shenzhou earth unites, a thousand tons of love room.
Beyond mountains, seas, and east or west we roam,
Love connects, dreams merge, China's red flag home.
From north to south, east to west, through wind and rain we share,
Across a thousand rivers, we walk the same path, aware.
Every life deserves care, every soul a home,
Every warm moment, never left alone.
(Deep baritone, resonant and firm)
No regret in this life, to be born of Hua Xia,
No shame in this world, to be a Chinese, forever and aye.
(Wuhan, "Wu Han" - I am Han)
